APPENDIX C - UNIT PIPE PRICES C.1 Introduction …

C-1 APPENDIX C - unit pipe Introduction and SummaryThis APPENDIX summarizes unit pipe PRICES and their derivation. The cost of constructingpipelines is the largest single cost in the project, accounting for $65 million of the total project cost aspresented in Table 7-1 (Volume I). Project costs are sensitive to the unit PRICES of pipe . Tables C-1aand C-1b summarize the selected unit pipe PRICES in October 1998 values. Table C-2 comparesselected unit pipe PRICES with Bureau of Reclamation estimates for this project. Comparison with bidprices received by the State in the project region in August 2000 is also presented. The methodology of arriving at unit pipe PRICES involved examination of bidding on projects inSouth Dakota, namely the Mni Wiconi and Mid-Dakota Projects. The chief difference betweenprojects building in South Dakota and projects in Montana, however, is the difference in prevailingwage rates in the two states. It will be shown that prevailing wage rates in South Dakota for laborclassifications used in a rural water project of the type proposed for Fort Peck and Dry Prairie are half(or less than half) of the prevailing wage rates in shown in Tables C-1a and C-1b, different unit PRICES were derived for the Fort Peck IndianReservation and Dry Prairie.
